Benda Bilili! (Documentary) 12 certificate
Renaud Barret and Florent de la Tullaye's inspirational documentary tells the story of Staff Benda Bilili, a band formed in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, from an alliance of street kids and four older men left paraplegic after contracting poliomyelitis in their youth.

Kirsten Sheridan's family drama stars Freddie Highmore as Evan Taylor, a musical prodigy searching for his parents. When pregnant cellist Lyla Novacek was hit by a car, her controlling father and manager told her she'd lost the baby; in reality she gave birth prematurely and her father sent the infant to an orphanage. Eleven years later, when Evan finds out that his parents are alive, he sets out to find them, taking inspiration from the music around him. The heart of the film is Evan's almost mystical ability to 'feel' music, a challenging concept that is rendered believable thanks to inventive work from the composer of the main score, Mark Mancina.

Rhys Ifans stars as Britain's most notorious drug smuggler, Howard Marks, in this loosely factual biopic, based on Marks's 1996 autobiography, from director Bernard Rose.

Along the way, his eclectic contacts include the IRA's Jim McCann, as well as MI6 operative Hamilton McMillan, who attempts to sign him up for the British secret services.

Thankfully, the finest of America's finest, the GI Joes, are on hand to repulse the attempted theft. But it's not long before the shadowy terrorist organisation Cobra mounts another, more successful, raid and hightails it with the missiles.

Will Forte, Kristen Wiig and Val Kilmer star in this violent, risqu? action-movie spoof. It's an extended spin-off of a regular Saturday Night Live sketch that in turn pastiches the 80s TV action series MacGyver. Our bumbling 'hero' is the bemulleted former special ops agent MacGruber, who has a sartorial taste all of his own and a general aversion to using weapons. Having to all purposes retired, he's dragged unwillingly from seclusion to thwart the dastardly Dieter von Cunth - a terrorist who has recently got his hands on a nuclear missile. But saving the world isn't MacGruber's main reason for taking on the mission: he has unfinished business with von Cunth, who was responsible for the death of his girlfriend; and he's also keen to work again with the foxy Vicki St Elmo.
